No Washington correspondent Is bet ter known or more highly esteemed than Kdward G. Iyowry. That in It self means that he lias broad and deep knowledge of national and world af fairs; that he In skillful in getting the news and tactful In writing It, and that he litis the confidence of the pub lic men with whom he conies In con tact. Hut Mr. I.owry bus mote than that. lie has the really patriotic feel ing that the Intimate knowledge of the nation's affairs, which he acquires through his work In Washington, should he Imparted to the people of the country who have not his privileges, in such a way thut they will be led to take that personul Interest In the doings of the government, which alone will result In good government. He wants the people to realize that It Is their government, answerable to them only, and that they only are responsible for its good qualities and Its bud qual ities. It Is this feeling that has In spired much of Mr. Lowry's best work. Born In Atlanta In 1870, Mr. Lowry was educated In private schools, the Georgia Military Institute and by prlf ate tutors, and began his Journalistic rareer at the age of twenty-four. In 1904 he was sent to Washington and has been there almost continuously ever since. He 1ms been the political correspondent of Harper's Weekly, has written many articles fur the periodi cal press and since l'.il,') has been the Washington correspondent of the New York Evening I'oat, and for a consid erable time the managing editor of that paper. When Germany started the World war the government uatur ally found Important work for Mr. Lowry. For two years he was at tached to the American embassy In London, and then he returned to be come captain In the arUtion section ef the signal cores. Then be was at- A SAVINGS ACCOUNT Is practically the only sure way to keep funds available and at the same time make them work for you. 4 Per Cent Paid on Savings Farmers & Stockgrowers National Bank HEPPNER, OREGON. sistunt military attache nt London and on the Iiritish front In Flanders, mid was with the American Army of Oc cupation in (leriimiiy. For Ills valu able work he was awarded the llrlt Ish Military Cross. Recently ho wrote "Washington liose-Ups," a series of character sketches of eminent figures in the national capital, which the country Is reading with vast enjoyment. For two years Mr. Iyowry has been making a close study of the business of the government. He is given credit Ib congress for his aid in pusslng the budget bill and In bringing about the naming of the joint committee of the house and senate to Investigate and report upon the administration and or ganization of the government executive departments. He now wants the peo ple of the I'nlted States to know the details of the United States govern ment, which is their business. He be lieves the knowledge of these details will make of them better Americans and give tliem a belter government. No mini not Imbued with Mr. Low ry's high Ideal could have curried out this study of the government biiHlness so exhaustively and painstakingly as has he. I'robably he now knows more about it than any other mail In the world. Willi extraordinary persever ance and dogged persistence he went after hidden facts and multifarious de tails and got them. Nothing was too big for his comprehension or too small for his attention. At rfrie time he went to a member of the cabinet with the statement that the government had on Its payrolls, exclusive of the olllcers and men of the army and navy, one employee for each OX people of the United States ten years of ago and over engaged In gainful occupations. It took that cabinet officer, with the assistants he had at his command, a considerable time, and considerable ef fort to verify Mr. Lowry's stutement, but he found it to be true. As the result of his careful studies Mr. Lowry has written a aeries of ar ticles on the business of government income and expense; where the money comes from, and how and for what It Is spent; whether the organization of the business slilo of government Is (II cletit or Inefficient; whether the gov ernment wastes the money we give It. The series Is not In any sense politi cal. It is not an attack, not a muck raking expedition. It recites facts, conceded, acknowledged fads. These facts come from the rnuii In the gov ernment from the government Itself and they are all facts that every American citizen la entitled to know and should know. The aeries of articles on Uila subject of "Where Your Taxes Go" will be carried In these columns. They should be read by every American whe la In. tmnmttt la U welter ef the mUmi. RAOUL V.
